“I believe in that step of not just making revolutionary music but making it in a way that challenges the system, Especially in this day and age when the tools for producing and distributing are more and more accessible to the average Joe and Josephine. The possibility of emancipation and control and independence is so much greater now.”

“I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in-between.”

“People used to make records, as in the record of an event, the event of people playing music in a room, and now everything's cross-marketing, its about sunglasses and shoes, or guns and drugs that you choose.”

“And I was shocked to see the mistakes of each generation will just fade like a radio station, if we drive out of range.”

“I still define myself by the places that I've been.”

“I love all those great 'f' words - feminism, folk music..”
